Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second‑leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. It is frequently characterized by chemotherapy resistance,which is a predominant factor contributing to unfavorable patient prognosis. B7-H3 is a novel tumor marker and a potential immunotherapy target. High B7-H3 expression in colorectal cancer is associated with adverse prognosis. In this study, we noted increased B7-H3 expression in colorectal cancer tumor tissues. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that increased B7-H3 expression promotes resistance to chemotherapy in CRC. Furthermore, our findings suggest that B7-H3 mediates CRC resistance by modulating CYP1B1 expression. Mechanistic investigations indicated that B7-H3 inhibited the ubiquitination of CYP1B1, stabilized its expression,and consequently enhanced chemotherapeutic resistance in CRC. In summary, our results underscore the significance of the B7-H3-CYP1B1 interaction as a crucial therapeutic target for overcoming chemotherapy resistance in CRC.

Background: Prior studies of participants with breast and other obesity-associated cancers in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) showed worse mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes for individuals with a higher number of cardiometabolic risk factors at study entry. The purpose of this analysis is to compare the relationship between cardiometabolic abnormalities and mortality among women with and without cancer in the WHI.

Methods: Women with one of five early-stage obesity-associated cancers (breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and controls without any new or prior history of cancer were selected from the WHI-Life and Longevity after Cancer ancillary study.

Objective: To compare early recurrence patterns, safety, survival and investigate the clinical risk factors of early recurrence (ER) after liver resection or thermal ablation (TA) for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) with number ≤ 5 and largest diameter ≤ 3 cm.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with CRLM who underwent liver resection or TA between January 2016 and December 2021 at two hospitals in China. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to assess recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

In recent years, assessing dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity has become crucial for cancer patients undergoing 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy due to the life-threatening toxicity associated with reduced DPD function. The methods for evaluating DPD activity have evolved, with the analysis of DPYD polymorphisms in blood samples becoming the preferred approach. As the indications for liver transplantation are increasing-particularly due to a rise in cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and non-resectable colorectal liver metastasis-more cancer patients with a history of liver transplantation may experience disease relapse.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for the treatment of colon cancer. To realize local sustained release, promote efficient local intracellular transport, and mitigate the systemic toxic effects of capecitabine, a capecitabine prodrug, capecitabine-poly (p-dioxanone) (Cap-PPDO), was successfully synthesized.
